No directions since purchased at a garage sale

I purchased the SHARK cordless hand vacuum,18 volt SV779Z 14 from Walmart and mailed you its product registration on Nov.3,2010.
As I was vacuuming my kitchen countertop ,there was a big bang and it stopped all suction. Walmart told me to get in touch with you since they did not have any more to exchange. I have the sales ticket and did register the product as mentioned before. I need to know what I can do to get a replacement since it was under guarantee. Thank you!

Dear Sir:
I just purchased a Bissell Rug Shampooer at a garage sale. The only thing I find for a model is on the back and it says Model 1695 there. Nothing on front. It is Navy blue and has a grey tank on it with a smaller one inserted at bottom of the large tank.
It has two switches on the back of it and the trigger switch at the handle.
The cleaner works, BUT, it does not extract any water back into the tank that is to pick up the dirty water. Could you suggest what I may look at t

I bought an old Juki Baby Lock 418 at a garage sale. It will sew for 3 or 4 inches and then seems to be off timing and locks up. I have no instruction manual. Is there a manual available for this old machine? I would prefer a downloadable manual because I already have money invested in the machine which doesn't seem to work. It was suppose to have been gone over at a repair shop before I purchased it and was told that it worked. .

I bought a Rival Ice Cream Maker, Model 8401 at a garage sale. Last week we were going to use it for the first time. When I opened the box I found that the Drive Shaft was missing. Everything else was there. Can I purchase a Drive Shaft for this machine from you?

Dust....dust....dust Hello, I recently bought a house with an older Electrolux Central Vac system. I'm unfamiliar with them, so I'm not sure how to deal with this: I cleaned up some mortar dust with it, and noticed not too long after that when I went into the garage, there was a fog of dust. The hose from the unit is venting into the garage. Is this normal? I have since used it for everyday household cleaning and each time I go back to the garage to a cloud of dust. Is there anything I can

I have a Liftmaster garage door opener and the garage door faces south. Normally the opener works great except at certain times on a sunny day.The sunlight is not directly hitting one of the sensors but the door will comedown as far as half way and then it will go back up and the lights will flash. If I go inside and use the button I can hold it down until the door is fully closed. However, sure is a pain to have to take the car out, go back into the garage, shut the door and then leave the h

I purchased a Baby Lock BL4-428 serger at a church auction. One of the church member's mother had passed away so the daughter donated the serger to the sale but she didn't know where the manuel was at the time of the sale. I need a manuel so I can figure out how to use it.

I am looking all over for you, but the age of this machine is going to make it nigh impossible to track the manual down. Your best bet is to contact Baby Lock directly and request it, they should have some form of the manual still that they can send ...

Just bought from garage sale: Circuit tested with meter, and seems intact; however no power to vacuum unit when switched on. Pump unit works ok.

You'll need to open up the top motor unit, check the switch for the suction and test the fan itself. My model 1672 ran for many years, but recently it started to smell burnt when the fan was on. When I opened it up, you could see the fan spitting out ...

Chatter We have a Kirby Ultimate G. Since we purchased it it bounces across the floor and the level of the sweeper has nothing to do with it. To get it to stop, it has to be at the highest level. The place we bought it, has done nothing to help us. We tried a new beater brush, no help. If I have to use it at it's highest level to sweep my carpet, I might as well not waste my time. ANy suggestions?
